Hello @billdup, welcome to Connect.
On Mayo Clinic Connect, we offer experiences and knowledge to one-another but are not medical providers. Because tapering off medications, especially opiates, can be both difficult and vastly different for each person, it is always best to consult a medical provider or pharmacist on how to best taper off meds. The long a person has been on a medication, the more complex the tapering off an opiate can be. Because research is still limited with medical marijuana, it can't be said for certain how each person would react to using this as a method for tapering off of their pain medications. To be safe, especially when mixing medications and marijuana, it is best practice to keep your medical providers in the loop. It is great that you have had a positive experience using this method, but it may not be the same for each member here on Connect.
@billdup, if you don't mind sharing a bit more about yourself, what brought you to the chronic pain group? If you are comfortable, what has caused your chronic pain?
